Has anyone considered an organised campaign to bag the cams??? Starve them of a bit of revenue for a day... Leave the ones outside schools, but bag the cash cows!!!

I think 100 bagged cams should make the news and ramp the pressure up a bit!

Hang on, there aren't any cams near schools!!!! Exactly my point!

Be careful, If you start creating vigilante mobs then there will be no alternative but to unleash the numptie resistance!

They would hide behind bushes with only their green anoraks and thermous flasks for comfort, then, when you bag a camera they'd jump out and wave big yellow "We hate motorists" signs in front of your face.

You have been warned........

Discussion of this nature could end up ted in more bother with the media.

The media will blame ted for starting a vigilanty group.

They'll be removed soon enough because they won't catch anyone.

I'm in favour of leaving them alone. After all, if you can't spot the fixed ones, that's your fault. If you drive around unfamiliar areas alot, get a decent GPS locator.

Sabotaging the fixed sites may lead to more mobile sites, and I really don't want to have to go out and buy a jammer

Leave the numpties to get bagged by the big yellow monsters, and focus your (justified) anger towards those sneaky mobile fkers

All you need is circles or squares of the appropriate coloured sticky back plastic!

More elegant I agree but difficult to explain if stopped by BiB. Whereas a roll of plastic bin bags - many reasons why you might have those in your possession.

Nope, they would make it a criminal offense to carry bin bags without a license... if caught 3 points and a £60 fine....

Outlaw takes the moderate line yet again. Where would PH be without his calming influence?
